Lilial - Lilly Aldehyde

Lilial, also known as Butylphenyl Methylpropional, is a classic muguet-type (lily of the valley) floral aroma chemical valued in perfumery for its soft, creamy, powdery floral scent with delicate green and slightly woody undertones. For decades, it has been used by perfumers to create clean, elegant floral freshness and to enhance the diffusion and body of floral compositions.

Lilial is especially effective in building soapy florals, white floral bouquets, and aldehydic perfumes, where its smooth floral character adds brightness and softness to the fragrance heart. It is widely used to reinforce the floral structure of ingredients such as muguet, freesia, peony, jasmine, and aldehydic accords, helping perfumes achieve a refined and polished finish.

This versatile aroma chemical performs well in both alcohol-based perfumes and oil-based fragrance formulations, making it suitable for perfume oils, attars, body mists, and solid perfumes. Its balanced floral character allows it to soften harsh notes while enhancing the overall freshness of a fragrance.

Lilial blends beautifully with cyclamen aldehyde, rose oxide, phenyl ethyl alcohol, verdyl acetate, heliotropin, and white musks, making it an essential building block for floral, green, and clean “shampoo-style” perfumes.

At HERBOLOGY, our Lilial is supplied as high-purity perfumery-grade material, ideal for creating elegant floral compositions with smooth diffusion and long-lasting freshness.
